GPU and RAM prices have become ridiculous. People are spending thousands just to run resource-heavy applications for increasingly trivial use cases. It's like we've normalized burning money on computing power for content that honestly doesn't justify the hardware cost behind it.

This is exactly the current magical situation—spending thousands of dollars on an application that is essentially useless, it's outrageous.

My graphics card is gathering dust, and it's crying more than my wallet.

Isn't this the common problem of modern technology, where money is becoming less and less valuable?

ngl, if you look at the data on cost-per-flop efficiency over the last cycle, the roi on these gpu farms is absolutely tanked. basically ponzi-tier returns at this point, degens just chasing sustain that doesn't exist lol

Oh my god, this is outrageous. Spending thousands of yuan on a graphics card just to watch a high-definition video, I feel heartbroken just looking at it.

Honestly, the current hardware prices are driving people crazy. It takes thousands of dollars just to run an application, but the stuff being used isn't worth that much... How did this trend get so distorted?

It's just ridiculous. Spending thousands of dollars on an app that you basically don't need—why is it so easy to burn through this money?
